If the head lamp is on, turn the ignition key off and take the key
from the key hole, engine does not stop running!! Any solution ?

Yes - turn head lamp off first :-)

From the way you phrase it, I guess it doesn't run on if the lights are off?
In which case it's a wiring fault, probably under the dashboard.

If it happens anyway, then is it a diesel or petrol?

As for the immediate practicality of stopping the engine, then while you are
stopped, dip the clutch, put it in top gear (prob. 5th?), stand on the brake
pedal and let the clutch up sharply. That will stall it and force the engine
to stop.

Then the engine management system remains energised and the coil pack will
burn out in short order.
